Give me Eric Bellinger’s vocals mixed with a dope verse from Phil Ade and some slinked-over-the-shoulder instrumental energy, and I’ll give you a late-summer banger that’ll have some long legs. This one’s on Eric’s Eric B. For President: Term 1 album, which is coming soon. If the tape sounds anything like this, Bellinger’s going to have […]
Read moreNew Music: @FrankyHill__ – "Full"
I’ve never heard anything from Franky before this track. However, after the honesty and reality exhibited here? I’m sold that I’ve got to hear more.

My plugs for DAR are never shameful. Dope music is dope music, regardless of if it’s from my boys or if it’s from someone else. Now that we got that out the way, my DAR brother True God gives us a story about his rise to where he is. Clocking in a bit over three […]
